Hi Catherine
Thanks for the links.
FYI We have already created a few new nanotech exhibits. I see that one is common with one shown on your list (ferrofluids) but others are different. We have even created an iDome where vistors can pan around a nanotech lab to see researchers working and have processes demonstrated to the.
Next week I have to present three ideas for University engineering cadets working in industry to select and build 2 exhibits as major industrial projects. They will have considerable resources provided to them and will work in project teams. The exhibits must not be primarily AV but should have mechanical, electrical or electronic components for them to develop their skills.
We often create quite unique exhibits in this way and I feel we add to the 'exhibition world' quite significantly.
On the topic of nanotechnology however I have been struggling.
Kind regards
Glen

Glen,
I saw several of the NISE Network's partners responded on the list to your question about nanotech interactives - (it is great to have so many wonderful partners!) I wanted to follow up and give you a little more info -
The Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Network) is a national community of researchers and informal science educators working together to foster public awareness, understanding, and engagement with nanoscale science and technology.
On our website (http://www.nisenet.org) we have offer a catalog of nano programs, exhibits, media, and tools and guides created by the NISE Network project. Whenever possible, products created by the NISE Network are under a Creative Commons license allowing the use of these materials at no charge when used for educational, non-commercial purposes. We have designs, plans, drawings, signage, and imagery for a variety of exhibits created by the NISE Network that you may want to look at and utilize if you are creating your own exhibits. We also have links to exhibits and traveling exhibitions created outside the Network project. You can see all the exhibits portion of the catalog by going to: http://www.nisenet.org/catalog/exhibits and a general overview here: http://www.nisenet.org/exhibits
If we can help provide more details, please let us know,
Catherine
